By james art On Thursday night, the Dallas Mavericks lost to the Houston Rockets (at home) by a score of 108-102.
Despite the loss, Kyrie Irving had an excellent game with 28 points, eight rebounds and seven assists while shooting 10/20 from the field and 5/6 from three-point range in 43 minutes of playing time.
After the game, the 2016 NBA champion made an honest statement when he met with the media.
Irving was asked about the mindset he can share with the younger players on the roster because of his experience.
Irving: “Obviously we have the success of last year, but it doesn’t mean a damn thing this year because we haven’t accomplished anything. The champions are the Boston Celtics … For us, yes, we won the Western Conference Championship and I’m very proud of that, but for this group right here, we haven’t accomplished anything.”
